Mikku:
Two builds in one thread! Excellent stuff!! :daumenhoch:

bodamus:
It would be a Pacer though if it's got 500 stamped on the rear dropouts

P J Tunni:
Well that's the thing, my Viper has 500 stamped on the dropouts, but it was originally sold as a Viper (it had Viper stickers)...so mine was probably a left-over Pacer 500 frame that Diamondback stickered and sold as a Viper (apparently the Pacer 500 sold badly, so they sold the remaining stock as Vipers).

Do you have a spec list for the 500 ? The crank in mine is the original I'm told the guy I had it off has owned it from new, stripped it to restore but got left and he has plenty of others also,

If you go on the BMX Museum website in the reference section there is a catalogue for the Diamondback complete range for 1984 (mine is an 84 so i have used this A LOT for reference). The Pacer specs are on there. There's also a lot of Vipers / Pacers on the site. I have attached an image of a complete Pacer 500 from the museum, note the chainring. I am not sure of the crank used in the Pacer, the specs don't say exactly but if yours has JMI165 stamped on it, i know this was definately used on Vipers.  ;)
